Welcome to By The Numbers. Here, we'll break down the most important facts, figures and statistics from that night's game. Despite the final score, there's more to the game's story than the numbers on the scoreboard.

Here's a look at some of the most notable statistics and numbers from the Blue Jackets' 6-0 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Toronto:

4.2 - The average goal differential per game on the Blue Jackets' tour of Canada.

7 - Players who were not in the Blue Jackets line-up by the end of the night: Marian Gaborik, Nathan Horton, Brandon Dubinsky, Jared Boll and Derek MacKenzie were scratched going into the game, but Artem Anisimov and Nikita Nikitin left the game due to injury.

9 - Shifts taken by Nikita Nikitin before he left the game. He played 5:36, had a shot on goal and still finished plus-1.

12 - Blue Jackets players combined for 22 shots on goal.
